Southerner's loan trust tale ends in court admission
A nostalgic bank encounter unfolds as a Southern gentleman seeks repayment of a loan made over 35 years ago. The banker cites the statute of limitations, but the claimant asserts the debtor as a gentleman to whom time never applies. The tale contrasts manners with law in a compact anecdote.

The farm includes 10 year old apple trees and a large dwelling built by Grant's father. Gossip is dismissed as mere listeners to gossip.
